Get Lively with Jan

Who else feels like they are DROWNING in "what if-s?" right now? At the time that I'm writing this message, here in Massachusetts, the Governor just laid out the reopening plan for our state… I could continue with the downward spiral of "what if-s?" scenarios and believe me, that is tempting, but I've decided to do this instead. Need a home workout?  I've got you covered!  Check out the video libr...

As the debates are raging over : wearing masks in public, when we should reopen, what businesses should open first… I find myself wanting to crawl into the fetal position! But what I need to remember - what we all need to remember - is that we get to choose how we spend our time. Yes, I know we all have obligations, but they are still choices . During this unprecedented time in our lives, connecti...

Recently our good friend, known in these parts as GP, posted a video on Facebook . In it there was an aspect of grief over what we are missing out on and at the same time surprise over what many of us are calling the silver lining moments . And so I did some writing, and came up with what I've been grieving during this time and then all of the silver linings that have, at times, taken my breath aw...

I think it's safe to say that we've all experienced so many highs and lows during this unreal time in our lives.   It's been like living on a roller coaster, except (for the most part) the roller coaster is in your living room . So what better time to have a good chat with your mom about life … And that's exactly what I did .  What we did .  And we made it a podcast for all of you. During this unp...

Wow, well it's been over a month .  At times it probably felt impossible .  Maybe at times it felt peaceful . All I know is that it most likely didn't feel like you expected the last week of April would feel. I've been thinking about what I've been learning about myself quite a bit during these weeks.   Sign up for my FREE Webinar Masterclass: The Goldilock's Rule Masterclass: Finding the Healthy...

Show of hands, aside of all of the obvious challenges that the stay at home order creates, Who feels a sense of relief? Who feels like they finally have an opportunity to slow down a bit? Who feels like there is a silver lining to this all? I've heard from many people over the last several weeks, now that we are about a month into this all, that they realize now how frantic their lives had become...

So here we are in mid-April.  If anyone had told us at the start of 2020 that this is what life would look like, we would have said they were crazy.  But yet, here we are… So whether you feel like you are MILES from where you once were with your healthy habits or only a few blocks away , I'm here to say that NOW is exactly the time to make sure we are staying focused on our healthy routines. Sign...

What an unbelievable time in our lives. We are now a few weeks into this new age of social distancing and living with stay at home orders, and at the same time, we are also finding ways to stay connected while we can't physically be together. During this unprecedented time in our lives, connection is more important than ever, so I invite you to join our Free Facebook Group: The Lively Lounge for d...

How many times have you picked up a book and the quote on the cover stated: "This book will CHANGE your life." If you are a self development junkie like me, probably MANY times. Do books, programs, coaches, courses, classes have the ability to change our lives? Well, I guess my question is: DO YOU WANT THEM TO?

People come to me all the time and ask about starting a new: fitness routine diet lifestyle/way of eating mindset/habit program In all of these scenarios, I generally work through four questions with people to help them understand how "ready" they are to start a new health and/or fitness program.   Sign up for my FREE Webinar Masterclass: The Goldilock's Rule Masterclass: Finding the Healthy Habit...

Don't believe the negative dialogue that is running through your head. Your belief that you will NEVER get it right is just plain WRONG. EVERY single time you try , you LEARN . You can't experience something without learning from it.  You will be changed.   It might be in the SMALLEST of initially unnoticeable ways, but it has happened.

I get it, you're busy .  We all are. But that doesn't mean you can't find ways to improve your days and live a life more LIVELY. In fact, there are probably a handful of times throughout the day that you can REPURPOSE the time you have. The Get Lively® QUICK WIN Guide www.getlivelynow.com/quickwin

What are the things that REALLY matter to you in life?  Maybe it's dropping your kids off at school or getting in your morning workout, whatever it may be, if you don't establish these as your "non-negotiables" you know that time will EASILY get swallowed up by someone or something else!  And I get it, there are realities that we all face in life, BUT, we also have choices that we get to make and...

People ask me all the time: But will that REALLY make a difference? And usually this is in response to my suggestion that they try something small to move the needle towards their health goals.   But Jan, if I can only workout ONCE a week, will that even make a difference? Well, YES, I say as that is one more workout a week that you WEREN'T doing… AND over the course of the year that is 52 workout...

How much SALT is in the water you're drinking? Random question, right? In today's show I share a story about the how what we focus on is what carries the most "taste", so if you are sipping from a class of water filled with salt, it's going to be unbearable, but if that same amount of salt is tossed in a fresh water lake, well then, it will taste quite different.  Listen in to learn how this persp...
